Jeff McLane

Jeff McLane is an artist living and working in Los Angeles, California. Born in Oklahoma, his photographic works have focused on rural land function, urban landscape and image capture technology. He received his BFA from California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), and is an active contributor of the Los Angeles based art collective From Here To There. Recent exhibitions include From Here To There presents From Here To There, Synchronicity Gallery, Los Angeles, CA 2009 and Manual Transmission I, Bush Gardens Rooftop, Brooklyn, NY, 2010.

Solaroids are unique prints, produced using large format Fuji instant film, which undergo long exposures of direct UV light. Each print is approximately 4x5 in (9x12 cm). This work comes from McLane’s interest in the transition of photographic technology in the digital age, and how its structure and nostalgia affect the content of images.
